Dave Seibert agreed to fill in as head baseball coach at Western Maryland College in 1981 thinking he would hold the position for a year until the real coach returned from sabbatical. Throughout the next 38 years the school's name would change, but the baseball coach would remain the same -- until now.
In February, Seibert announced that the 2018 season guiding the McDaniel College baseball team would be his last.
His replacement, Grant Neary, comes to Westminster, Md., from the New Jersey Institute of Technology hoping his tenure also lasts much longer than one year. Based on the program's history -- this will be just the fourth head coach since 1963 -- it looks as though the odds are in his favor.
